LRC Roles: The following is a list of LRC "task roles" students take turns rotating through in their LRC groups. Students must work all the way through one LRC cycle before returning to the same role. Student work on the role sheets is self evaluated daily and teacher evaluated once every cycle or 5 group meetings. If you'd like to download an

Passage Master: Your job is to locate a few special sections of the text that your group would like to hear read aloud. The idea is to help people remember some interesting, powerful, funny, puzzling, or important sections of the text. You decide which passages or paragraphs are worth hearing, and then you jot down plans for how they should be shared. You can read passages yourself, ask someone else to read them, or have people read them silently and then discuss. Illustrator: Your job is to draw some kind of picture related to the reading. It can be a sketch, cartoon, diagram, flow chart, or stick figure scene. You can draw a picture of something that’s discussed specifically in your book, something that the reading reminded you of, or a picture that conveys any idea or feeling you got from the reading. Any kind of drawing or graphic is okay … you can label things with words if that helps. Discussion Director: Your job is to develop a list of questions that your group might want to discuss about this part of the book. Don’t worry about the small details: your task is to help people talk over the big ideas in the reading and share their reactions. Usually the best discussion questions come from your own thoughts, feelings, and concerns as you read. In summary, your job is to: develop discussion questions, keep the group on track with time schedule, and encourage all group members to participate.

This means connecting the reading to your own life, to happenings at school or in town, to similar events, times, and places, to other people or problems that your are reminded of. You might also see connections between this book and other books on the same topic or by the same author. THERE ARE NO RIGHT or WRONG ANSWERS HERE. Whatever you connect the reading with is fine!! |
